-2519 error trying to create a TDMS file

[JaNeily]

I am trying to create a TDMS file with some code on a 9073 that previously worked. It started giving me an error -2519, so after reading up, I did a reset of the cRIO - no help, then did a software restart on the cRIO - no help, then did a reformat, reinstall of the software on the cRIO - no help. Now what? It works with no errors if I run the code on a PC instead of the cRIO.

It's been awhile since I've touched and RT system, but I'm pretty sure a cRIO does not have a C drive.  That is likely your problem.

-2519 error means the TDMS component is not successfully loaded. It might because the tdms.out file is missing or corrupted. Have a check and reinstall LV RT will solve this problem.

Thanks for the response - I removed the C: reference and then it gave me a -1430 error, which is the path is empty, or relative, and that an absolute path is required. If I put a backslash in front of the file path, it automatically fills in the C:, so it seems like it expects it.

Thank you also for the suggestion. I had already reformatted the cRIO and reinstalled the software onto the cRIO which did not help. I will try relinstalling the LV RT onto my computer, and then  onto the cRIO again.

I have now reinstalled LV RT onto my computer, reformatted the cRIO-9073, reinstalled the software onto the cRIO, and tried to run the program. I get the same -2519 error code. Any additional  suggestions? Thank you!

Normally, the reinstall should work. We can also do some manual check. Make sure the TDMS component is on the cRIO, it should be at /ni-rt/system/tdms.out. If it's not you can manually copy the TDMS RT component from your host to the cRIO by FTP. If you have LV RT installed, on your host, the tdms.out should be at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\RT Images\TDMS\2.5.0\.

The TDMS.out file does exist on the cRIO, so I was thinking maybe it is corrupted since it did exist. I went to the file location on my host computer to copy it, but do not have the RT Images\TDMS\2.5.0 folder, as I am running LabVIEW version 2011 SP1. I manually copied the TDMS.out file from RT Images\TDMS\2.3.0 folder and put it onto the cRIO. Same result.

[deppSu]

If you are using LabVIEW version 2011 SP1, the proper TDMS component should be 2.3.1. Attached is the released tdms.out of 2.3.1, you can try replace yours on the cRIO with this one (decompress first) , restart cRIO and see if it works.

deppSu,

I appreciate all of your help, unfortunately that didn't work either.  

So with all of my frustration building, I gave up on that cRIO, found another one not in use (another 9073), and tried my program on that one, and it worked. There must be some issue with that particular cRIO. It's pretty old, so I guess I'm not surprised.
